Thriving is a strong word, they got overwhelmed by a massive influx of migrants after they developed the colony. So they thrive economically as they arrived first, they are on the top of the social pyramid, owning the lands etc, but culturally the Welsh language can only be heard in school and a few cultural centers, but the languages switched to Spanish almost everywhere and the language is in strong decline in Y Wladfa.

*Fun fact:* For those interested in early medieval Britain, there's a pretty good series from the 70's called "Arthur of the Britons", which depicts the famous Legend of King Arthur in a very realistic way. In this show, Arthur is the humble leader of a Celtic tribe (and not a powerful king) who fights against the Saxons and Merlin is just a normal man without magical powers. I highly recommend it!

Thanks for doing this series, K&G! The Celtic nations on the British Isles are far too often portrayed solely through the lens of English history, nearly always only appearing when they interact in some way with England (usually through armed incursions one way or the other) and are for the most part ignored at other times. While their interactions with England do play a significant role in their histories, they were still polities of their own, with their own internal histories, and having interactions with states other than England. Good to see this channel exploring them in their own right!

The Myth of the Eireann Cu Chulainn and of his son strongly reminds me of the written stories of Rustam-i Palang and his beloved son Sohrab. Both warriors had a pledge to travel and seek glory and fight with their son in hand. Both fathers killed their fiery and ambitious son by mistaken identity in battle, lamenting the loss and being stricken with a defeating grief. The Cymru and the Manx and the Gaedhlig and the Scots gaelic speakers need to keep their history alive that vacillates their name in the world. A beautiful pneuma or spirit the Celtic cultures possess that always burns inside this Iranian's heart. Go N-eiri an Bothar Leat!, excuse without the accents included...."may the road rise to you" all', who love and keep this namesake in the eternal colloquy of my favourite peoples.

We used to keep track of our history by writing epics and ballads to be sung in court and in the marketplace or taverns.

@@yossariandunbar2829 Swansea's and Wales' problems are far more than economic though. While that certainly is a large part of the equation and without a doubt isn't a unique experience under this current Tory government, the problems that I was referring to run deeper than the Mayhill riots or what tins of beans you're having to purchase when you pop to the store. Bills are a very real problem right now, sure; and when this economic crisis we're facing takes full effect in the coming months, I worry for our already under-funded nation. But I think trying to sum up Wales' problems as merely economic is deeply reductive. There are very real instances of cultural oppression that have been occuring in Wales (and other parts of the UK) for centuries. Issues that are deeply set into the rubric of how the relationship between the UK nations functions to this day. Wales is more-often-than-not cast aside. Its people are demeanded as stupid, simple and backwards. To say that these cultrual issues don't go hand-in-hand with the economic marginalisation Wales feels in Westminister's budget plans would be, in my opinion, an uninformed statement. This is why I found your comparison to Ukraine to be a confusing one. While everything that we're discussing, of course, doesn't even come close to what's occuring in Ukraine at the moment, my original reponse to your comment was referring to these cultural issues - which is the sentiment that I believe OP was trying moreso to get at.

Depends on how you define nation. In terms of a single state with fully centralised institutions, then no. However the idea of a unifying paramount "King of the Britons" leading an alliance of the different kingdoms of the Welsh pre-dates any equivalent concept among the English or Scots.

I’m a mix of Welsh/Italian and grew up in Wales my whole life. This page has taught me more about my history then any school teacher. Shame on you Welsh government and thank you Kings and Generals as always your work is impeccable.

How about a documentary on the one village in Gaul that held out against Julius Caesar? You know, the one whose chief was named Vitalstatistix, whose Druid, who knew how to make the super strength potion, was Getafix, whose bard was Cacaphonix, and whose two heroes were the legendary Asterix and Obelix? 😉😉😁😁

And will this series continued on into the Early Modern Period? You know, the Reformation in Wales, the Welsh Bible and and why Wales accepted the Reformation so easily and did not resist to preserve Catholicism like in Ireland?
